Please can someone from Trafford Housing Trust explain to me, and everyone else in Trafford, in layman's terms, what the exact criteria is for a house move these days?

I know we have to bid, I know there are "medical factors" although, from what I can gather, a well built coffin is the best medical factor to guarantee a move, since no one is actually assessed for medical factors other than a form filling procedure which a lot of people with medical factors cannot actually fill out and even when they do it isn't enough.

Who, exactly decides on medical factors? No one can do that without actually seeing someone. Is it NHS on line or something? Because normally, to get an assessment from someone you actually have to see the person.

Also, why, on the bidding forms does it state people from category A B C D P can apply, then clearly it is for pensioners only? And, isn't that discrimination?

Why is it people have to remain where they are not happy? Some cannot afford to buy, or are too old or too young.

Surely it is discrimination if some can move about the borough and others cannot freely do so?

My son and his fiancee, both in their 20's, cannot get a council property because they qualify for a one bed place only, they work hard, long hours, and are not ready for children but wish to marry, they can't afford to buy yet can't get anywhere to live council wise because they are not over 60 years old!

The bidding system is ill thought out, and no one moves up the list as they once did.

I would love to see the head of Trafford Housing Trust, or any of the officers, live in some of the surroundings we pay for.

Please can someone explain to me why, after sending a letter of complaint the reply was to send a postcard with details on it to my home address? What happened to confidentiality? I don't want my details broadcast to everyone.

I await Traffords response, Name and address supplied
